Visiting Baguio will not be completed without dining in different cuisine. from local delicacies to other countries' famous food, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

At night, baguio never sleeps. Night market one of the most visited places were you can find cheap clothes and dig into several comfort food at the food park.
If you want quiet, relaxing and romantic place, there are plenty of restaurants outside the city and takes you about a 10-15min drive. I highly recommend Via Von Joy, the first time we visited the place it was the view and the food that makes us wanted to go back again.
You can also try the Nature Vibe restaurant in tuba Benguet along the marcos highway. Their smoked chicken is a must-try.

You may visit Manduto Café on Asin Road at the heart of Pinewoods Golf Course. You have a view of the golf course and if you look up, you will see the city lights. You can also play golf even at night.
Surely you’ll get tired with the whole day of walking around the city and trying the best food you see. I suggest take time to relax visit Pooten Hot Springs located in Brgy Asin, it’ll take you a 30-minute drive. It's a quick escape from the cold weather in the city. Calm and very relaxing.

After that, you can go back and enjoy another day wandering around the city. I hope you experience all of this and more when you visit the place that captures my heart.
